It was purchased by the\n Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation for\n the Library from Messrs. \n James Eddy , \n Charles Eddy , and \n John Eddy of \n Short Hills, New Jersey , on January 1,\n 1962.","CORRESPONDENCE","The \n Burke family letters date from 1876 to 1936.\n Martha Burke shows her political interests\n in her July 7, 1859 letter to her husband \n John Burke . In referring to \n Louis Napoleon Bonaparte she states, \"I am\n glad the Austrians are getting a lesson, but it makes me\n sadder to think of the widows and orphans created by the last\n battle.\" \n Mary Randolph writes \n Martha Burke on February 22, 1863, saying\n that Mrs. Lesley has tried stimulants for her headache, and\n indicating that the \n Lesley family is allopathic in its medical\n ideas. She refers to anti-Union sentiment in \n Boston , saying that \" \n Henry Ward Beecher is very caustic and\n shows his usual talent in some remarks he made on the same\n subject.\" A letter from \n Mary Randolph to \n Martha Burke on July 17, 1863, mentions\n summer (draft) riots in \n New York City , and sends a clipping, \"A\n Southern View of Secession,\" a fraudulent anti-Confederate\n speech [said to be] by \n Alexander Hamilton Stephens (1812-1883) of\n Georgia . On March 9, 1867, \n Martha Burke , who lives in \n Alexandria with her husband, writes to her\n aunts \n Mary Randolph and \n Cornelia Randolph about the \"Negro\"\n candidate for mayor, and her fear of the danger of \"wiley\"\n politicians using the \"Negro\" vote. In a May 7, 1895 letter, \n Martha Burke writes to \n Mary Randolph on the truth of \n Frank Leslie 's prediction of the demise\n of the \n Confederate States of America . On\n November 16, 1879, \n Ellen Randolph Dwight writes to \n Martha Burke with a description of the \n Jefferson family and \n Randolph family papers and a plan of the\n library at \n Brooks' Mouth . The \n Burke family correspondence drops off until\n the late 1920s with the letters of \n Fanny M. Burke . Her letter to a Mr.\n Wingfield on January 11, 1923, shows her interest in \n Burke family genealogy and includes a\n drawing of the \n Burke family coat-of-arms. In a February 11,\n 1923, letter to \n Ellen [Coolidge] , she says she is\n furnishing copies of these coats-of-arms for $5 each, and\n attempts to defend a controversial chapter of her nation's and\n family's history-- \n Nicholas P. Trist 's decision to make a\n treaty with \n Mexico to end the Mexican War. In her July\n 27, 1927 letter to her niece, she refutes the claim that \n Thomas Jefferson did not belong to a\n church. On September 1, 1927, she writes to Mr. \n H. G. Johnson thanking him for a $700\n donation for the rehabilitation of \n Monticello and says that temperance is\n better than prohibition for with the former there is less\n danger of abrogating the great Anglo-Saxon liberty \"Every\n man's house is his castle.\" On December 13, 1928, \n Fanny M. Burke shows her interest in\n political matters, writing to \n Ellen [Coolidge] , she mentions a a dirty\n bargain in which \n New England allowed the slave trade to\n continue in return for Southern support for taxation by the\n majority [the North]. There are two undated letters from \n Archibald Cary Coolidge to her when she\n was studying art in \n Europe as a young lady, encouraging her to\n study at \n Paris .","The letters of \n Thomas Jefferson Trist date from\n 1840-1886, and n.d. The letters from 1840 through 1846 pertain\n to his sojourn at school in \n Philadelphia . A letter dated August 28,\n 1840, to his sister, \n Martha Jefferson Trist , first mentions\n his schooling and his apparent longing for family. \n Thomas Jefferson Trist mentions that he\n would like to visit his father, \n Nicholas P. Trist , in \n Havana, Cuba , where he is stationed. On\n February 10, 1842, he writes to \n Martha Jeferson Trist acknowledging\n receipt of two gifts from his parents, \n Adventures of John Smith and \n Robinson Crusoe , and mentions that he still\n has \n Life of Franklin . In a October 12, 1843\n letter, he mentions his interest in Napoleonic military\n operations, preferring the French army to the English and\n Prussian. An August 22, 1844 letter to \n Martha Jefferson Trist shows the young\n man's interest in politics, \"I am for \n [James K.] Polk , \n Dallas , \n Texas and \n Oregon . \" His letter of November 6, 1845\n reveals that he is taking drawing lessons from Mr. Holmes. He\n mentions receiving \n Plutarch 's \n Lives and a $2 1/2 gold piece for Christmas.\n In his February 12, 1846 letter to his sister he mentions he\n has been given an autographed picture of Gen. \n [Zachary[ Taylor .

Her letter to a Mr.\n Wingfield on January 11, 1923, shows her interest in \n Burke family genealogy and includes a\n drawing of the \n Burke family coat-of-arms. In a February 11,\n 1923, letter to \n Ellen [Coolidge] , she says she is\n furnishing copies of these coats-of-arms for $5 each, and\n attempts to defend a controversial chapter of her nation's and\n family's history-- \n Nicholas P.

In a letter\n dated April 9, 1872, \n Nicholas Trist answers a request from \n Edmund Burke . He had been asked, as a\n reminiscence, what he felt about the Wilmot Proviso. He claims\n that he could not have voted for it as it forbade slavery in a\n state after it became such, yet what state--he says--would\n have been inane enough to establish slavery if it was kept out\n when the state was a territory; and, says that he would have\n choosen the Wilmot Proviso over \"Calhounism.\"","Miscellaneous correspondence dates from 1833 to 1879, and\n n.d.

In a\n letter dated January 27, a copy made by \n Ellen Coolidge , who also wrote the\n original dated 1833/34, \n Ellen Coolidge explains that \n Thomas Jefferson died as he had lived, a\n \"Christian philosopher,\" and that the Gospels were the basis\n of his ideas. A copy of a letter written by \n Ellen Coolidge to her brother \n Benjamin Randolph on February 6, 1861\n (copy made by \n Martha Burke on December 3, 1897) mentions\n that the \"idea of civil war makes all the blood in my body run\n cold.\" She understands the South's complaint, but says the\n Union is \"too sacred\" to be cast aside; and, that since the\n states of the upper South are not dominated by cotton, \n Virginia and other border states will be\n out of place in a \n Confederate States of America . \n Ellen Coolidege claims to be a true\n Southern woman, but loves the Union and the stars and stripes\n \"which are the only things around which all Americans can\n rally.\" There is a copy made by \n Martha Burke on November 30, 1897 of a\n letter from July 13, [ ] written by \n Ellen Coolidge to \n Elizabeth Wormley , which shows that her\n affection for southern friends has been strengthened, and her\n fear of \n Boston 's hatred of the South.

Fremont entitled \"The `Sons of\n Liberty' in 1776, and in 1856.\" It maintains that the\n descendants of the colonial period \"Sons of Liberty\" ought to\n oppose the slave owners in the same manner as their noble\n forefathers opposed the British. Dated October 8, 1858 is a\n marriage certificate for \n Thomas Jefferson Trist and \n Ellen Lyman signed by \n Thomas Gallaudet , rector of \n St. Anne's [ ] for deaf-mutes in \n New York . On June 5, 1890, there is a\n list of resolutions adopted by the \n Pennsylvania Institute for Deaf and Dumb ,\n concerning the death of \n Thomas Jefferson Trist , who was a teacher\n at the Institute for thirty-five years. He is eulogized as \"a\n faithful teacher, a man of high culture, intelligence,\n refinement and moral worth, and a true Christian, in his daily\n walk and deportment.\" There is also a copy of the inscription\n on the desk (identical to the one on which \n Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration) \n Thomas Jefferson gave to \n Joseph Coolidge who married his\n granddaughter \n Ellen Wayles Randolph : \"Politics will\n give imaginary value to this relic for its association with\n the Declaration [of Independence].\" There is also an undated\n note from \n H. B. Trist , of \n Washington which mentions President \n Martin Van Buren 's and Colonel Burton's\n praise of \n Nicholas P. Trist .

There is also a lithograph of a blind beggar,\n with a French inscription underneath. There is an undated\n photocopy of \n Nicholas P. Trist 's justification for his\n part in helping to formulate the treaty to end the Mexican\n War, which he says he did for the sake of his country and his\n family, not out of \"noble ambition.\"","The newspaper clippings date from 1863-1888, 1938, and n.d.\n Some of these concern \n Nicholas P. Trist 's involvement with the\n treaty to end the Mexican War and later when Trist's deserved\n pension was held up partly due to bad feeling created by his\n action. Some of the clippings give historical and anecdotal\n information on the founding fathers.

In referring to \n Louis Napoleon Bonaparte she states, \"I am\n glad the Austrians are getting a lesson, but it makes me\n sadder to think of the widows and orphans created by the last\n battle.\" \n Mary Randolph writes \n Martha Burke on February 22, 1863, saying\n that Mrs. Lesley has tried stimulants for her headache, and\n indicating that the \n Lesley family is allopathic in its medical\n ideas. She refers to anti-Union sentiment in \n Boston , saying that \" \n Henry Ward Beecher is very caustic and\n shows his usual talent in some remarks he made on the same\n subject.\" A letter from \n Mary Randolph to \n Martha Burke on July 17, 1863, mentions\n summer (draft) riots in \n New York City , and sends a clipping, \"A\n Southern View of Secession,\" a fraudulent anti-Confederate\n speech [said to be] by \n Alexander Hamilton Stephens (1812-1883) of\n Georgia . On March 9, 1867, \n Martha Burke , who lives in \n Alexandria with her husband, writes to her\n aunts \n Mary Randolph and \n Cornelia Randolph about the \"Negro\"\n candidate for mayor, and her fear of the danger of \"wiley\"\n politicians using the \"Negro\" vote. In a May 7, 1895 letter, \n Martha Burke writes to \n Mary Randolph on the truth of \n Frank Leslie 's prediction of the demise\n of the \n Confederate States of America . On\n November 16, 1879, \n Ellen Randolph Dwight writes to \n Martha Burke with a description of the \n Jefferson family and \n Randolph family papers and a plan of the\n library at \n Brooks' Mouth . The \n Burke family correspondence drops off until\n the late 1920s with the letters of \n Fanny M. Burke . Her letter to a Mr.\n Wingfield on January 11, 1923, shows her interest in \n Burke family genealogy and includes a\n drawing of the \n Burke family coat-of-arms. In a February 11,\n 1923, letter to \n Ellen [Coolidge] , she says she is\n furnishing copies of these coats-of-arms for $5 each, and\n attempts to defend a controversial chapter of her nation's and\n family's history-- \n Nicholas P. Trist 's decision to make a\n treaty with \n Mexico to end the Mexican War. In her July\n 27, 1927 letter to her niece, she refutes the claim that \n Thomas Jefferson did not belong to a\n church. On September 1, 1927, she writes to Mr. \n H. G. Johnson thanking him for a $700\n donation for the rehabilitation of \n Monticello and says that temperance is\n better than prohibition for with the former there is less\n danger of abrogating the great Anglo-Saxon liberty \"Every\n man's house is his castle.\" On December 13, 1928, \n Fanny M. Burke shows her interest in\n political matters, writing to \n Ellen [Coolidge] , she mentions a a dirty\n bargain in which \n New England allowed the slave trade to\n continue in return for Southern support for taxation by the\n majority [the North]. There are two undated letters from \n Archibald Cary Coolidge to her when she\n was studying art in \n Europe as a young lady, encouraging her to\n study at \n Paris .","The letters of \n Thomas Jefferson Trist date from\n 1840-1886, and n.d. The letters from 1840 through 1846 pertain\n to his sojourn at school in \n Philadelphia . A letter dated August 28,\n 1840, to his sister, \n Martha Jefferson Trist , first mentions\n his schooling and his apparent longing for family. \n Thomas Jefferson Trist mentions that he\n would like to visit his father, \n Nicholas P. Trist , in \n Havana, Cuba , where he is stationed. On\n February 10, 1842, he writes to \n Martha Jeferson Trist acknowledging\n receipt of two gifts from his parents, \n Adventures of John Smith and \n Robinson Crusoe , and mentions that he still\n has \n Life of Franklin . In a October 12, 1843\n letter, he mentions his interest in Napoleonic military\n operations, preferring the French army to the English and\n Prussian. An August 22, 1844 letter to \n Martha Jefferson Trist shows the young\n man's interest in politics, \"I am for \n [James K.] Polk , \n Dallas , \n Texas and \n Oregon . \" His letter of November 6, 1845\n reveals that he is taking drawing lessons from Mr. Holmes. He\n mentions receiving \n Plutarch 's \n Lives and a $2 1/2 gold piece for Christmas.\n In his February 12, 1846 letter to his sister he mentions he\n has been given an autographed picture of Gen. \n [Zachary[ Taylor . On May 8, 1946, \n Thomas Jefferson Trist writes to his\n father, requesting a \"port-folio\" for his drawings. In a\n January 12, 1849 letter to his sister, we learn that \n Thomas Jefferson Trist 's interest in art\n continues and that he is studying drawing under Mr. Aime at [ \n Bohmon's ]. \n Thomas Jefferson Trist 's multivaried\n interests continue in his later years. Writing to his sister\n on April 2, 1876, he mentions that he took a cold after\n delivering a lecture before a literary association entitled \n \"Hans Christian Anderson.\" He also writes her on\n November 27, 1886 saying that he has no intention of parting\n with his \n [John] Trumbull [portrait of \n Thomas Jefferson ?], and hoping that it\n will always be in the possession of \n Thomas Jefferson 's descendents. The \n Coolidge family has the original Stuart\n profile, and \n Thomas Jefferson Trist has a photograph of\n it as well as a photograph of the \n Thomas Sully portrait, the last one taken\n of \n Thomas Jefferson .","The \n Trist family correspondence dates from 1835\n to 1874, and pertain to the \n Trists family 's social world and to family\n difficulties. \n Virginia Jefferson Randolph Trist , the\n wife of \n Nicholas P. Trist , writes to her sister, \n Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge] , on\n November 26, 1835, from \n Washington where \n Nicholas P. Trist , a diplomat, is\n stationed, mentioning the \"brilliant party at the president's\n on Christmas.\" In a letter marked \"Confidential,\" dated\n November 14, 1862, \n Virginia Jefferson Randolph Trist and her\n sister, \n Mary Jefferson Randolph , write to \n Nicholas P. Trist mentioning a concern for\n Martha Burke 's baby. The Trist's daughter\n Martha Trist married \n John Burke in the 1850s and had a daughter\n Frances \"Fanny\" Burke . Writing to \n Virginia Trist on July 4th, 1863, \n Mary Randolph mentions a chest of drawers\n containing \n Thomas Jefferson 's drawing book and two\n pictures which she wants \n Virginia Trist to give to \n Nicholas P. Trist .","The letters of the \n Trist family and \n Burke family date from 1864 to 18[80]. \n Martha Burke shows a concern for the\n health of her child, as evidenced in a letter to her father,\n November 12, 1862, where she is concerned over \n Fanny Burke 's continued high fever. The\n Civil War is discussed throughout several letters. On June 14,\n 1863, \n Virginia Trist writes to \n Martha Burke and tells her of fighting in \n Pennsylvania , and, on four days later,\n mentioning that the possibility of a rebel attack on \n Harrisburg has come to naught. A few weeks\n later, \n Nicholas Trist writes to \n Martha Burke to say that the rebel cause\n is hopeless, that \n Vicksburg had fallen to \"Unconditional\n Surrender\" \n Ulysses S. Grant , and the Union advances\n are progressing well. On August 15, 1863, \n Nicholas Trist writes to \n Martha Burke quoting from the \n London Times , \"the only thing now that\n can protract the [ ] rebellion is Copperheadism. There is also\n an undated letter, containing another reference to northern\n Copperheadism. In a letter dated only \"1863,\" \n Virginia Trist tells \n Martha Burke about a visit with \n Bennett Taylor who had been wounded and\n taken prisoner at \n Gettysburg ; and showing her\n anti-Confederate sentiment: \" \n Jefferson Davis ' cruel, savage policy\n calls for retaliatory measures on the part of our government.\"\n In a letter of January 29, 1864, to his daughter, \n Nicholas Trist discusses a theory\n disallowing the justification of treason (secession). \n Virginia Trist writes to \n Martha Burke on February 7, 1864, saying\n that she has heard that the \"freed-man\" villages at \n Arlington and elsewhere were becoming\n intelligence offices for their neighbors. \n Nicholas Trist writes to \n Martha Burke on February 8, 1864,\n mentioning that \n Mobile had been captured. In a letter\n dated April 9, 1872, \n Nicholas Trist answers a request from \n Edmund Burke . He had been asked, as a\n reminiscence, what he felt about the Wilmot Proviso. He claims\n that he could not have voted for it as it forbade slavery in a\n state after it became such, yet what state--he says--would\n have been inane enough to establish slavery if it was kept out\n when the state was a territory; and, says that he would have\n choosen the Wilmot Proviso over \"Calhounism.\"","Miscellaneous correspondence dates from 1833 to 1879, and\n n.d. Several of these were written by \n Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge . In a\n letter dated January 27, a copy made by \n Ellen Coolidge , who also wrote the\n original dated 1833/34, \n Ellen Coolidge explains that \n Thomas Jefferson died as he had lived, a\n \"Christian philosopher,\" and that the Gospels were the basis\n of his ideas. A copy of a letter written by \n Ellen Coolidge to her brother \n Benjamin Randolph on February 6, 1861\n (copy made by \n Martha Burke on December 3, 1897) mentions\n that the \"idea of civil war makes all the blood in my body run\n cold.\" She understands the South's complaint, but says the\n Union is \"too sacred\" to be cast aside; and, that since the\n states of the upper South are not dominated by cotton, \n Virginia and other border states will be\n out of place in a \n Confederate States of America . \n Ellen Coolidege claims to be a true\n Southern woman, but loves the Union and the stars and stripes\n \"which are the only things around which all Americans can\n rally.\" There is a copy made by \n Martha Burke on November 30, 1897 of a\n letter from July 13, [ ] written by \n Ellen Coolidge to \n Elizabeth Wormley , which shows that her\n affection for southern friends has been strengthened, and her\n fear of \n Boston 's hatred of the South. She writes\n \"I never approved of secession. But I am a daughter of the\n South,\" saying she wears the horrors of the (Civil) War like a\n penitent's iron belt. She avoids newspapers-- \"those purveyors\n of falsehood, hatred, malice.\"","MISCELLANEOUS","The architectural drawings are chiefly undated. There is a\n drawing entitled the \"Parlor floor at \n Monticello , \" copied from \n Thomas Jefferson 's original by [M. T. J.\n B.] on August 5, 1880.
